The Dallas Cowboys are knee-deep in one of the most important offseasons in the franchise’s history and NFL expert Rich Eisen has explained the ‘best case scenario’ for their 2024 season.
America’s Team is scheduled to open their 2024 campaign on the road against the Cleveland Brown in a brutal opening test.
Nonetheless, before they can consider their aspirations for the 2024 season they must address the alarming off-field issues.
Jerry Jones has received backlash for his offseason approach with crucial contracts
Jerry Jones has raised eyebrows with his lack of urgency to tie down his cornerstone players Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons to new deals.
The logic has stemmed from allowing key starters to walk in free agency and replace them with a cheaper rookie contract.
Therefore, the franchise will have more cap space to work within as they prepare their mega contracts for their key players.
The philosophy has had its fair share of media critics, but the results in 2024 will determine if it was a success or failure.
Moreover, the Cowboys have reunited with former First-Team All-Pro Ezekiel Elliott.
Cowys set to use Ezekiel Elliott in partnership with Rico Dowdle
The veteran is set to share the reps with Rico Dowdle but a question remains, does he still have the juice in his legs?
Their offseason activity has provoked negative reactions throughout Cowboy Nation and the NFL media.
The current situation has, in some cases, lowered the expectations for the team and an anxious season could be on the horizon.
However, when January 2025 arrives, that is when Jerry Jones, the front office, and the team will be judged.
The team has recorded 12+ wins in three straight seasons but has seen early postseason exits.
Rich Eisen predicts the Dallas Cowboys’ best-case scenario for the 2024 season
So, what is the best-case scenario for the Dallas Cowboys in 2024?
Yesterday, NFL expert Rich Eisen addressed that topic for America’s Team on his show.
“Dak Prescott wins MVP. CeeDee Lamb is Offensive Player of the Year. Zeke (Elliott) runs for 1,000 yards… he’s eating… Zeke fills all the question marks about the running game, he gets the fountain of youth and runs for 1000 yards,” Eisen explained on his show optimistically.
“Micah Parsons wins Defensive Player of the Year and Jerry Jones is awarded with his all-in sensibility by he’s the Executive of the Year.”
Ultimately, it is not an outrageous idea to think Dak Prescott could go one step further from finishing runner-up in 2023 to winning the MVP.
CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons have been close to knocking on the door for their respective Player of the Year awards.
Elliott’s age is creeping up and he would need to find form that he has not managed since 2021
Ezekiel Elliott reaching 1,000 yards would be rolling back the years and the last time he conquered that milestone was three years ago; does he have the juice?
Jerry Jones winning Executive of the Year – as he did in 2014 – would force most people to eat their words, but the postseason success is paramount to earning that accolade.
Overall, certain aspects of Eisen’s ‘best-case scenario’ for the Cowboys are realistic, but it would take something truly special for Elliott to reach 1,000 yards and Jones to be the best executive.
